Chapter 29: Why is he here? Could it be for Xiao Yan?
"Lion King, are you willing to follow me?"
Gu Fei floated in the sky, his eyelids lowered, and his voice carried by the wind, infused with Dou Qi, spread far and wide.
The terrifying pressure in his voice echoed through this dangerous area filled with magical beasts. The lower rank beasts, which had been closing in with bared fangs and claws, immediately retreated and trembled in fear after sensing the overwhelming aura from Gu Fei. Even though he wasn't directly targeting them, they dared not approach any closer.
Every nearby magical beast, originally ferocious, now had eyes filled with terror.

"This aura..."
Not far away, the Amethyst Winged Lion King heard Gu Fei's words. Although it could sense Gu Fei's immense strength from that overwhelming aura, this was still its territory! Retreating before a battle even started was impossible.
Soon, the massive figure of the Amethyst Winged Lion King appeared in the sky. It glanced down at Yun Yun standing beneath Gu Fei and a murderous gleam flashed in its eyes. Then, it focused on Gu Fei, speaking in human language, "Human expert, have you also come to take my Amethyst Spirit Crystal?"
As it spoke, the Lion King felt a bit uneasy. If Gu Fei was here on Yun Yun's behalf, a bloody battle was inevitable today.

"No, the Amethyst Spirit Crystal is useless to me!" Noticing the Lion King's emotional shift, Gu Fei smiled lightly and shook his head.
Hearing this, the Lion King felt a sense of relief, only to be choked by Gu Fei's next words.
"I came here because I believe you have the potential to be my mount!"
Gu Fei's face remained calm as he said something that caused the Lion King's expression to change dramatically.

"What? You want me, this king, to be your mount? How arrogant!"
At this moment, the Lion King was furious. As a magical beast, especially one of high rank, it was nearly impossible for it to be tamed by humans. They were born proud and would never bow their heads to humans. Even if a human's strength surpassed theirs, they would rather die than submit.
Because of this, it's extremely rare to find a living adult magical beast for sale on the market. Usually, magical beasts are killed, their bodies dismembered, and their useful parts sold. For those seeking to buy a complete magical beast, they often find only eggs or young, naive beast cubs.
For example, the guardian magical beasts of large families are raised from a young age, ensuring loyalty to the family.
"Don't be surprised... Once you become my mount, you'll understand that this is the wisest decision you've ever made."
Ignoring the Lion King's raging fury, Gu Fei smiled faintly. Then, he closed his eyes and fully released his aura.
As soon as this powerful pressure was unleashed, not only did the surrounding low rank magical beasts kneel in fear, trembling on the ground, but even the Lion King felt an
unprecedented pressure, cold sweat dripping down its body.
Yun Yun, on the other hand, didn't feel any discomfort thanks to Gu Fei's protection, but she could still sense the terrifying strength of Gu Fei.

Although Yun Yun didn't feel the pressure, her face turned serious- this was a natural reaction of the weak when facing the strong.
Even the mighty Amethyst Winged Lion King couldn't help but take a step back.
Yun Yun's gaze unconsciously fell on Gu Fei's figure: "Who exactly is he?"
The aura around Gu Fei continued to expand, with a boundless amount of Dou Qi surging outward.
At the same time, in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, a certain distance away from this location, Ling Ying also sensed the terrifying aura. He suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face showing surprise and doubt.
"This aura!"
"What's wrong?" Xun'er asked, puzzled. Ling Ying had been her guardian since childhood, and it was extremely rare for him to show such a shocked expression. After all, as her shadow, Ling Ying had to remain calm enough to fulfill his duties.
But now, seeing Ling Ying unusually stirred, Xun'er felt a slight unease creeping into her heart, though she tried to ignore it.
Ling Ying was very sensitive to this aura. Although Xun'er could also sense the powerful fluctuation, her strength was not on par with Ling Ying's, so she couldn't perceive it as clearly. She could only vaguely feel that it was a very strong aura.
"Miss, let me sense it again!" Ling Ying, incredulous, tried to sense it once more. He found that it still matched his earlier suspicion.
After a brief pause, he looked at Xun'er, his expression somewhat grave.
"It's Young Master Gu Fei's aura!"
Ling Ying's voice paused before he continued with certainty.
There was no mistaking this familiar and powerful aura-it could only belong to Young Master Gu Fei.
"Gu Fei?"
Upon hearing this, Xun'er was taken aback. She was puzzled as to why Gu Fei would come to this place. The impoverished North-Western region of the Continent had nothing worthy of his training. The North-Western region couldn't compare to the Gu Realm; when Gu Fei left the Gu Realm to train, he wouldn't abandon the more prosperous lands for such a barren
place.
In the Gu Realm, who had heard of Qingshan Town? Who had heard of the Magic Beast Mountain Range? Could it be just a coincidence that they crossed paths?
Or could it be...
"Could it be that Gu Fei came here for Brother Xiao Yan?"
A startling thought flashed in Xun'er's mind, filling her with concern for Xiao Yan's safety. She had been extremely anxious about not being able to find him recently. After all, Xun'er knew Gu Fei's strength best- he was the top prodigy of the Gu Clan. If Gu Fei really made a move against Xiao Yan, not even the mysterious expert by Xiao Yan's side would be able to
stop him.
Xun'er nervously bit her lower lip and exchanged a glance with Ling Ying. She was conflicted about whether to go and check the situation. What if... that aura was from a battle between Gu Fei, Brother Xiao Yan, and that mysterious expert? What should she do?
"Time is running out. Every second we delay could put Brother Xiao Yan in greater danger!"
Xun'er no longer hesitated.
"Let's go find Gu Fei."
Seeing this, Ling Ying quickly escorted her, rushing towards the source of the Dou Qi
fluctuations.
At this moment, Xun'er was desperate to find Gu Fei. But her urgency to see her "former husband" wasn't due to longing; rather, she feared that her "former husband" might harm
her old flame.
